After goals from Pedro and Robbie Brady saw the spoils shared at Turf Moor, we make our way to the Liberty as Swansea seek to build momentum under Paul Clement.

Gylfi Sigurdsson is the focal point in the 4pm kick-off, with the playmaker looking to score for the fourth successive Gameweek, having netted against Liverpool, Southampton and Man City in each of his previous league outings.

With a pair of assists also accrued over the last five, the Icelandic international was the most transferred in player for Gameweek 25, with 229,000+ new owners snapping up his services.

Given that the hosts are currently one of just six sides set to play in both Gameweek 26 and 28, the likes of Fernando Llorente and Alfie Mawson could also play their way into our short-term plans.

Leicester, meanwhile, have struggled for form at either end of the pitch. With one goal in seven and a single clean sheet away from home all season, Claudio Ranieri’s men have done little to persuade us they are worthy of investment right now.

Paul Is certain he won't make the same mistakes next season. Follow them on Twitter

    Big decisions this GW, what you guys reckon?

    A. Sanchez+Carroll > Mane+Lukaku
    B. Ibra+Eriksen > Lukaku+Hazard
    C. Other?

    Team

    Heaton
    Alonso - Walker - Coleman
    Sanchez - Eriksen - Siggy - Phillips
    Kane - Zlatan - Carroll
    (Jaku - Pieters - Capoue - Evans)

    1. S.Kuqi

  3. Cok3y5murf

    People selling Sanchez, when are you planning to get him back? GW29 or GW31?

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Haven't sold him yet!!!!!

    2. Team Cruel
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Depends how they are playing in the meantime. If donkey Giroud is back in the team then I'll stay clear for 29.

      1. Pariße
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        I doubt he'll win his place back when the right players are fit again.

    3. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      See how things plan out. Might come to trusting WBA and City to keep him quiet but I'll make sure I'm in a position to get him in for 29 if needs be!

    4. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      29 yeah, hoping for 11.2 but will pay whatever price.

    5. Ridcully
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Selling him if he blanks twice, planning to buy him back in Gameweek 29.

  4. Manani
    • 14 Years

    sanchez>mane now or wait?

    1. S.Kuqi
      • 13 Years

        Could it? Why?

            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Are there any other gw26 fixtures that could be affected by fa cup replays?

        1. lordkippe
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          do it

        2. Somalion
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Something to do with a Leicester FA Cup replay, or a tribal shaman in Mali. I haven't really followed it.

      2. Abusive_Sgt_Daelrhos
        • 12 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Will Sanchez drop soon? Can we wait a bit more?

        1. Rainer
          • 9 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Brace saved him for a few days at least 🙂

          1. _Freddo
            • Fantasy Football Scout Member
            • 17 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Brace and Ibra flop, loads selling Ibra.

  5. frenchfries
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Jaku
    Alonso McAuley Coleman Holgate
    Siggy Eriksen Phillips
    Lukaku Costa Defoe

    Foster Capoue Amat Sanchez

    Anything worth a hit?
    Sanchez->Hazard(-4) worth it?

    1. lordkippe
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      do it

  6. Henning
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Hmm im confused about what i should do.

    Foster Jakupovic
    Chambers McAuley Alonso Coleman Kingsley
    Phillips Sanchez Alli Antonio Stanislas
    Costa Ibra Lukaku

    i have 2 ft 0m in the bank and Wildcard left.

    what to do with Ibra and Sanchez ?

    and is it stupid to do transfers now just to avoide price rise and drops? it like 13 days to next gw alot can happend

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Wait.

      1. Henning
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Ok thanx. And wildcard should perhaps be best to use 1 week before a dgw right?

        1. Epic Fail
          • 16 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Or the week after the DGW to fix your team.

          1. Henning
            • 11 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            Damn didnt think of that : )

  7. Somalion
    • 16 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    As an Ibra captainer, Costa and Haz blanks with Siggy only getting an assist really ain't the worst.

    Both Chelsea and Burnley losing their CSs stings...

    1. Rainer
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Its bad if you didn't captain Sanchez.

      1. Somalion
        • 16 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Meh, could be worse, could be one of those Man City fans who'll inevitably swap allegiance to Chelsea next season.

    2. TOBY1
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Captained Jesus. Still waiting.

  8. Duffy Dunk
    • 9 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Following up on my previous question:
    So is it 3 price changes per gameweek no matter if they're up or down, or there is a limit up and limit down, within which a player's price can move?
    Example: going down -0.2, then going up +0.3?

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Yes. 3 price changes maximum.

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      yeah 3 is max, but don't expect these type of swings mate.

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Ah, see what he means now, 3 moves... yeah, think EF is right, just 3, up or down.

      2. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Might happen on Gabbiadini lol.

        1. Netley Lucas
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          lol

    3. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      +/- 0.3

      Could go up 0.3 then down 0.6 in this break.

      1. Netley Lucas
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Ah right, you can't got up/down 4 but unlimited under that lol

  9. myboycharlie
    • 14 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Current defence is Coleman Walker Alonso Mee

    Kosceliny to

    A) Funis Mori
    B) Maguire
    C) Cahill
    D) Chambers

    1. Fpl Richie
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • 10 Years

      B

    2. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Depends how often you'll play the new player.

      1. myboycharlie
        • 14 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Will rotate best 3 at back based on fixtures will play 4 at back nxt gameweek though

  10. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Hazard or Mane? Thanks

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Hazard

    2. Cok3y5murf
      • 9 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Mane

  11. Captain Blanks
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    How much do we think Sanchez price will fall between now and the gw 28 deadline?
    I'm thinking of selling after the fa cup games next week (bought at 11.4 so sp will probably be 11.5 by then) and then re-buying for gw29. I reckon his price could fall to about 11.2/11.3 by then so i'd effectively be making .2/.3 profit

    1. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Penciled in 11.2 here, lower the better ching-ching lol

    2. Fred54
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Let's say he goes down 0.3 by deadline (or the night after) of GW26. 11.5

      Then goes up 0.1/0.2 for his GW27 fixture. 11.7/11.8

      Think less people will shed for the GW28 blank, as lots of other players missing and if you still have him, why sell? Possibly 11.7/11.8 at GW28 deadline.

      and then through the week rise to 11.9 at GW29 deadline.

      1. Fred54
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Whoops, should be

        "Then goes up 0.1/0.2 for his GW27 fixture. 11.6/11.7..... Possibly 11.6/11.7 at GW28 deadline."

      2. Captain Blanks
        • Fantasy Football Scout Member
        • 11 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Do you think he would go up 0.2 for gw27 after he's just blanked and then faces liv, BLANK? (genuine question btw not being sarcastic).
        My thinking is that most of the people selling now are people planning ahead who have looked at the next 3 fixtures, it's not likely to be casual/bandwagon sellers who are reacting to current gw form (for obvious reasons). Once the reality of the gw26 blanks kick in, i think the more casual players will start to sell

        1. Fred54
          • 11 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          That's how stupid the price changes are this season.

  12. Art Vandelay
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    I had been planning to only bring in players with a game in GW28 but Mane against an awful Leicester with an ageing defence is too tempting. I would end up with only 7 for GW28 if no hits taken.

    What is the consensus around here?

    1. TorresMagic™
      • Fantasy Football Scout Member
      • Has Moderation Rights
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Leicester getting a FA Cup replay could mean no GW26.

      1. Art Vandelay
        • 15 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Cheers TM. I am planning to wait, either way. I have cultivated TV in the first half of the season so,happy to leak some in the second half.

  13. NATSTER
    • 15 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    How's about these moves ? I'm not doing now, but waiting for FA Cup results.

    Team Now: Sanchez - Alli - Eriksen - Phillips - De Roon

    Sanchez + De Roon -> ???
    A: Hazard + Morrison
    B: Mane + Lanzini

  14. RAFA THE GAFFA
    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Got the exact money to do this for a -4 tonight?...

    Yes or no? Thanks 🙂

    Sanchez+Ibra+Carroll > Hazard+Costa+Lukaku

    Heaton
    Alonso - Walker - Coleman
    Eriksen - Hazard - Siggy - Phillips
    Kane - Lukaku - Costa
    (Jaku - Evans - Capoue - Pieters)

    1. Lawrø
      • 14 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      How/when do you plan to get Sanchez and Ibra back?

      1. RAFA THE GAFFA
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Sanchez GW29. Hazard out probably. Could wait on Ibra. What you reckon matey? 🙂

        1. Lawrø
          • 14 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          Not sure I like it. I'd definitely wait on doing your transfers... imagine doing that and Kane gets injured in the cup or United get knocked out

          1. RAFA THE GAFFA
            • 10 Years
            9 years, 5 months ago

            True yeah! Hmm, tough one this is going to be! What you planning? Just waiting?

            1. Lawrø
              • 14 Years
              9 years, 5 months ago

              I'll probably ditch Sanchez but possibly Ibra. I'm assuming there'll be at least one other GW28 fixture we don't know about yet so I'm waiting to see what that'll be before making my transfer

              1. RAFA THE GAFFA
                • 10 Years
                9 years, 5 months ago

                Sanchez+Carroll > Mane+Lukaku is very tempting now before the rises like

                1. Lawrø
                  • 14 Years
                  9 years, 5 months ago

                  Can you not afford it otherwise?

    2. Christophe Savage
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Like the moves, hate the timing. Wait and just downgrade either costa or hazard when prices out.

    3. NATSTER
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      It could be worth the early transfer.

  15. StalkingDwarf
    • Fantasy Football Scout Member
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    The worst part in owning Rondon and Phillips is that I see them get multiple near goals on MOTD, then they disappoint for another week.

    1. Syd.
      • 17 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Needs to take a leaf out of McAuley's book

      Doesn't even need to be near the ball to get near goals

      LEI looks juicy?

    3. Somalion
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Strange that Palace have longer odds than Sunderland since both on the same points. Maybe based on goal difference.

    • 10 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Need to fix that defense: Alonso, Holebas, Evans, Friend, Holgate so want to get Coleman but how to get funds?

    a) Phillips > Morrison (is he nailed)
    b) Eriksen > Pedro / Antonio / Barkley
    c) Alonso > Baines
    d) Ibra > Costa

    With amazing fixtures of chelsea and spurs...who are essential to have

    A.kane
    B. Eriksen
    C, costa
    D. Hazard

    Select any two..avoid doubling up

    1. Lone Wolf FPL
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      B+C

      1. John wick
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        How about a+c

        1. Lone Wolf FPL
          • 10 Years
          9 years, 5 months ago

          oh, though it must be mid and striker. a+c better

    2. Netley Lucas
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      That's easy, Kane & Hazard.

    3. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      A and c

    Jaku
    Coleman Mee Mustafi*
    Sanchez* Alli Siggy Phillips T.Carroll
    Kane Lukaku

    Heaton Jones* Ibra* Amat

    2ft, 0.1itb

    Sanchez to Hazard and..

    A) Mustafi > Brunt
    B) Mustafi > Walker
    C) Mustafi > Alonso
    D) Mustafi & Jones > Alonso/Walker & Brunt -4

    So I'm planning for the GW28 blanks and need to shift out either Ibra or Sanchez this week

    Then it's goodbye to Alli, Defoe and Amat

    So who should I bring in this week?

    It's either Rondon, Carroll or Llorente

    OR

    Antonio, Barkley, Snodgrass, Stanislas

    Surely worth using h FT rather than having a blank in GW26

    Or am I missing something?

    1. Bellerinmondo
      • 11 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      None of those options look super appealing. Barkley I guess. King from Bournemouth could be a better bet than Stan ( I own Stan)

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Not sure. With Costa/Lukau none of Rondon, Carroll or Llorente appeal personally. Leaving Kane perhaps.
      Mids - west ham for me, but can't decide which. Ideally Antonio/Lanzini but latter doesn't always get 90 mins.

      So waiting on further news before transferring either.

    3. Prøfeßör …

      Has to be Barkley here.

  24. Bellerinmondo
    • 11 Years
    9 years, 5 months ago

    Maguire or Mawson for blanks and beyond ?
    Was planning Maguire until today!

    1. Prøfeßör …
      • 10 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Mawson and Jak.

    2. MTPockets
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Maybe getting Mawson for Amat, but have Jaku already.

    3. suddenorgan
      • 15 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      Maguire if you need a GW26 option

  25. Henning

    Is there anywhere i can see the average transfers so far.

    i have done 46 transfer , thats to many i think

    1. Epic Fail
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      No such thing as too many. Only too many if the transfer doesn't work.

    Hi.
    A) Anichebe -> under 7.0
    B) Ibra -> Costa
    C) Sanchez -> Hazard

    1. Cahill
      • 16 Years
      9 years, 5 months ago

      same issue!

      thinking sanchez - hazard/mane or anichebe - carroll

      1. KUNingas
        • 10 Years
        9 years, 5 months ago

        Is carroll fit?

    Ibra to Costa for free?

    --------------------Foster---------------------
    ----Alonso Coleman Daniels Brunt----
    Sanchez(!) Alli Antonio Siggy Phillips
    --------------------Lukaku-------------------
    -----------------------------------------------------
    Pickford Pieters Ibrahimovic(!) Jesus(!)

    Gw26: Sanchez > Mane
    GW27: Save FT
    GW28: Pieters Alli > Robertson Huddlestone (leaves enough ITB for >
    Gw29: Phillips > Sanchez

    Leaves 11 for next week, 10 for gw28 with Ibra, Jesus, Mane, Alonso on bench. Decent plan?

    *Aware of potential Mane blank but think Leicester will avoid a replay at all cost with CL and a relegation dogfight on their hands.

      Looks very solid.
